Review of This I Believe  
Review by Alexi
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi EB, I am reviewing your essay "This I Believe" 
This is one that is easy to review. Short but full of anticipation and sooo full of truth.
Our writing is a trophy. We spend time producing a scene or scenes that form a story and then put it up on the notice board of human eyes.

We wait and hope for the best. Those we love will be kind. but out in the world there is a different climate. A mixture of different opinions. The opinionated don't know us a s friends so what do they care. They write what they think of our production regardless of the trophies or scars they leave.

Looking at what you have produced here. You have sat at your desk. probably chewing on the end of your pencil or nail. scratched you head. Sipped some tea or maybe a coke and started to write. Then you delete and write more. You read it over and scratch your head again. Mmm.
You are confidant that it is good enough to go out on the human eye board.

I remember when I was thirteen, so full of anticipation. Thought everyone in the world loved each other. Rose coloured glasses they call it. Was I soon brought down to earth,

I looked at your work and was impressed by a thirteen year old and became thirteen again. (I wish)*Bigsmile* Your distribution of word painting gave me a wonderful picture into your writers mind and I was impressed. It even brought a curved smile to my mouth and a sprinkling of joy to my heart.
I think your going to be ok as a writer, Practicing every day and interacting with other like minded characters will enhance your perspective and encourage you to go on regardless of criticisms or praise.
I love what you've written here and if you keep inventive and optimistic then you will succeed.

It has been a pleasure.

Review of My Mother's Poems

I am reviewing your mother's poem Neva."My Mother's Poems" 
It sounds like a dream, when one is half asleep and half awake.
The motion is faster than normal, a bush appearing over night.
I can visualise the softness of the leaves and the bud swelling and then opening into a beautiful rose as the vibrations of the breeze and the music melt together in the dream.
Life has it's peak, the mountain top when the beauty makes one breathless.
Then the curve balls bring one into reality, wakening up.
I enjoyed this lovely poem and can still smell the fragrance of the rose as I write.
Thank you for allowing me into your writer's mind.

Just popped in and rested my broom against a tree to review your poem"Dancing Leaves" for the power reviewers raid!*Witch*

I wrote something similar to this and it's on the list title: 'Save the last dance for me' So we have something in common here and it is the magic of the dancing leaves, one of natures delights at this time of year.
each line has a cord on it's own about the season of autumn.
The curtain up as we watch the changes that are brought forth with Titian's artistic brush with natures splendour.
I love the pirouette and the mosaic of colour to name a few.
Thank you for allowing me to look into your writer's mind.

Good morning from my side of the planet WW, Is it a good time for you, I wonder and on the eve of your character's birthday I come to remind you of your letter of repentance that you wrote to cleanse your palette of tequila nights.
Ahem, let me clear my throat from laughter and try to be serious as I pick myself up from the floor... your poem""Born before the Midnight Bell Tolls"" 
The Victorian home by the sea, sounds like an idle and a dream.
every word you have written has it's own curve ball. I hope this has been published as it should.
Two minutes what an escape and yet fate brushed along side your character and drew her in for a moment in time. Tickling her with the demon of intoxication, the swirling thoughts of witches and ghouls, and the loneliness of your bedroom were mixed in this cauldron of dreams and humour spewded in the morning light. Superglue and tequila raised you to the stage and your trophy is a constant reminder in your mirror. How delightful a story this is. well done WW.
Now back to the Victorian house by the sea. Oh dribble! I dream of that.
Thank you for a peek into your writer's mind WW. Sheer delight and the only ghoul in sight is the tequila tapping your character's shoulder and saying let's go have a drink. *Wink*

Hi Jenny, I am reviewing your poem"Night of Halloween" 
It's Power raid fro Halloween. *Witch*
The title brought me in.*Checkb*
It comes from the poem The Night before Christmas and your little witchy character has stolen it for the night. How clever is that!
Samhain (all hallows)night and she is throwing a wee mouse in her cauldron and stirs. Her hyperactive mind is swirling with excitement on this eve of trick and treat.*Shock2*
Lizard tails and snake eyes. Sounds to me she making pie. (have one od my lovely *Pumpkin*s for the pudding.*WitchHat**Wink*
All the dead are shaking the dirt off and Ghosties practise there Whahawhhhaaa! Nice one. *Smirk*

The full moon lit up the night and the excited little witch cackled have a happy and spooky night
and to all a good night is the ending of the Christmas version. Identified your muse here.
A delightful poem with a mixture of fright. Just the thing for all hallows night.
Thank you for your stage.

Good morning Sherri, I haven't come across your port before. I am Alexi Alexi
I am reviewing your poem "Where Evil Dwells" 
The title is one that I would normally avoid, but as I am sharpening my nails on a raid for the Power reviewers. I will put my broom on your Port
porch and enter the Poem.
Sanheim is a creepy and curious tradition probably comes from a sweeping out of evil sprits from the crevices of the soul. Turned on it's head by the Spirits themselves.
A conspiracy of witches stirring the cauldron of the night in wait for the victims and ready to fright.
I enjoyed reading your well crafted poem and on this I say goodnight.*Bigsmile*

Good morning J. it's 8.30am in my part of the planet.

I love the free spirit of your approach to this. From the moment your character opened the back door I felt the wind and autumn smells great me. Intoxicated I moved out and goose pimples grabbed my arms, then a warm feeling came over me as I viewed the autumn scenes that my eyes followed.
very descriptive and well written short story and very enjoyable.

Hi Angus, good morning from across the pond. I am reviewing "The Treat...And The Trick" 
I fell in love with Fritz because of his wrinkly years. he came over as a warm hearted character and as the story progressed I felt sorry for him and yet pleased that he got some joy from giving the children a sweetie treat. he did what he could afford on his pension to decorate his porch and make it a welcome for the Halloween hooters.
Then along comes Mickey out of character, a princess in the wrong story and of course Dracula. if I were Fritz
Dracula was a bully and I hope his plastic teeth broke as he sunk them into Fritz's neck and he spent the rest of the night toothless.*WitchHat*
If I were Fritz, I would get my broom and spank him all the way down the street.*Blowfish**Whistle**Web3*

Hi Shelby, My name is Alexi Alexi and I just happened to come across your "I'm Tired Lord. " 
What depression feels like... Your words took me into a hole, a darkened pit that your character had fallen into. The light is so far above it is dim. Two threads left and fear speaks negative words telling lies, leaving despair that lies to try and extingquish the last two threads of light you have.

Exhaustion grips your character's throat and breathing is short, reduced to gasps. Every word that's heard is like shifting sand trying to suffocate what life is left.
Close your ears to the lies and breath in new life.

I liked the words But I will hold onto this with every part of strength I have left. Despite the fact I am tired, Lord, I will not give up, and even though I am exhausted from hanging on I will not let go.
Cling those words with all your strength. Open you eyes and see a staircase on the walls of this prison. Steps, words that can help you climb to freedom and fresh air.

Faith, grab hold of it and further up is Hope, your character is almost there. Love is the rope that will take you to the surface.

I found your words and description of depression a glimpse into your writer's mind.
Writing down ones thoughts is a beginning of Faith and Faith is the substance of things hoped for, things not yet seen.
Admiration for sharing your writer's mind Shelby.
Keep writing and never give up. There is a future to grab hold of and it has your name on it... claim it.

"Ode to Hatchet Creek Hill" 
A delightful trip down memory lane to when you had long days bursting with imagination and laughter.
I visualised you and other children playing in the woods and saw the water falling.
Swimming, chatter, endless fun.

HiFyn. Alexi Alexi.I am reviewing on behalf of "King's Landing updating " 

As a member of House Hightower image for G.o.T.

"Conversation at a funeral" 

I saw this poem and it's title which threw my thoughts in a different direction, but I decided to start reading because the curiosity of a conversation at a funeral might be interesting. Ahem... I mean amen.

First of all I thought it was two ex's and the girl was in a coffin looking beautiful but cold and dead. Then reading on I discovered that it was two young children and they were not at a funeral, so to speak but, about to bury her. When they remarked on the cookies I had to laugh. Such a thing to be remembered by.

They touched her so she didn't have the lid on. How can kids be allowed to touch a dead body? this can't be right. I read on and now I get it. The two dudes are talking about the dead gold fish. *Laugh*
What I liked best was Mum said we had to be quiet. "Can you hear if you are dead." *Laugh*

Then there is a pause for the loo. hilarious children's talk. I love there conversations, don't you?

The next thing they talk about is the friend's dead gold fish but, he has two new ones. The finally, Mums leaving and their goodbyes.

This is a delightful light hearted bit of fun and a good chat between to minors.

Thanks for the laugh and allowing me into your writer's mind Fyn.

Hi TJ, Alexi Alexi is reviewing on behalf of "King's Landing updating " 
As a Member of House Hightower image for G.o.T.

I choose to review; {item:2023447]

This is what I can find from your poem TJ.

A duel between life and death, dark and light. A two edged sword that has not yet established the areas to cut and set the character of this saga free.

She has negative energies of uncertainty, turmoil, indecision, entangled in a madness that exhausts and finds sleep her only escape, away from the realities she does not want to face. away from the hardness of decision making escaping into a twilight zone that can only hurt and imprison the beholder's mind.

her soul gets to hide in the secret world of sleep like a beauty on the back of a Stag that is only existing in her mind, she has begun to believe the lie in her dreams. Is she chasing her self. trying to catch self and tell her that this deathlike spiral has to stop.

She knows that this repetition can only harm her wellbeing and she will one day have to face her demons in reality in order for her to start recovery, or face the fact that her behaviour will only lead to death and beyond, a tortured soul. This is a sad poem, a recital of the character's thoughts and feeling about the real world and the unreal world and the balance is wrong.

The character has to wake from her sleep and live, yes live.
Start a new dream, a dream that will lead to a happier life. An interesting write TJ.
Thank you for allowing me into your writer's mind.

Hi TJ Alexi Alexi doing a review for "King's Landing updating " 
as a member of House Hightower image for G.o.T.

I am reviewing "My Favourite Day" 

This is my thoughts as I read your poem.

A special day, a day we all love. Excitement fills the soul and a glow shines on the skin.

A certain date, what can this be? Let's read further and see.

Being waited on with coffee and breakfast in the slumber chamber is a good start, how spoilt is that and yet some take this for granted. Moving along with the character I see a shopping spree like a freedom to choose what she wants with no charge, after all it is her day. Her totally spoilt day. Oh, the bliss, the memories.

Arms full of bags and making for home the door is opened and to her surprise. The family shout and sing. A wonderful memory and I can picture every moment of her day as she soaks up each minute and as she gets into bed that night after arranging all her presents around her room she snuggles up and smiles as she thinks what a lovely this has been.
Like a scene from Pretty woman indeed. A woman's dream.

I enjoyed reading and walking through your poem TJ.

Just one simple mistake. (line two of the second verse is that meant to be taking a walk.--- Not talking a walk.) just saying.
Thank you for allowing me into your writer's mind TJ.

Hi TJ, I am Alexi Alexi reviewing for "King's Landing updating "  challenge.
As a member of the House Hightower image for G.o.T.


This is what I got from the reading of your poem TJ.
"Sanctuary" 

A safe and perfect place that a child can go back to in her memory and recall how she felt in that place. just how a baby feels in her mother's womb.

A place of safety and peace. Love of a favourite tree, strong with large branches that yield steps to it's heart. The middle is broad and able to take the weight of a child and to hide it from the world, a secret place how cool is that.

A stolen place on private property where she can watch the world go by and no one knows.

The branches a lifeline that allows the child to pull herself up further and see things from a different angle. her quiet haven. She feels the strength in the tree and it's rough exterior her love of trees was born in this spot and it begins a lifetime of love and intrigue for trees and new adventures, she become an explorer. She touches the air around them with her nostrils and smell the fresh difference in each tree from old oak to a young sapling, all have their own scent. All have their own strengths. All leave an imprint on her life that started when she was a child in her neighbours garden.

A lovely poem with much sprouting from the main branches of this poem.
Well written and thank you for allowing me into your writer's mind TJ.*Smile*

Review of Night Dancing

Rated: E | (4.5)
Hi Charlie, this is a review from Alexi for the "King's Landing updating " 

"Night Dancing" 

Please note that this is a review based on what I found from your work.

*Penguin* initial impression: Dark, ripping. The black hole in the planet of a characters mind. Everyone has a black hole.
Swimming in the sea of life and hitting some rocks on the way. survival makes one swim further till the jellyfish bites into a chunk of skin and boy, does it hurt, the character continues and then a shark bites of a piece of the mind. Oh man, why is it so hard to survive. Then the character loses his money belt and the water is murky so he dives to find it and his hope begins to drown like being caught in a whirlpool. he goes deeper and has lost control, he is being sucked into nothingness and cannot feel his body any more.Is there any way back?

Telling someone, anyone who will listen because by now he has lost all his friends and only despair, hopelessness, negativity and death are his companions.
he is in a pit and the walls are closing in.

Thank you for allowing me into your writer's mind Charlie.
This is an interesting way of expressing depression.

Hi It's Alexi and I am House Hightower image for G.o.T. reviewing for "King's Landing updating " 

"Loft Monster" 
Oh, how many memories of fear a monsters do we hold from our childhood. Like monsters under the bed. Eek! trees that look like witches ready to pounce in the dark as Dad drives the car home along a quiet road.
Noises we can't explain when we are in the house alone, creeks that can't be explained. The wind whistling and making our hair stand on end and now reading your delightful poem about your grandchild's fear as he thinks he saw a monster in the loft. It is so real to them at such a young age.

The child looks into a dark corner and sees this monster peering back. The child freezes and his little heart beats become rapid pumps. he screams for mummy and demands she drop everything and come rescue her child. he wants mummy to chase it away and give him a cuddle, then he will feel safe.

Mummy who is fearless and has grown out of the silly illusion climbs up and like a super hero realises that it was a picture sticking out of a box and can understand it looks eerie and why the child is fearful.

The finally of this delightful poem is mummy stamping on the box and killing the monster.

I can imagine a cup of milk in the kitchen and both mummy and child laughing about the dead monster.

This is a lovely poem and must have been fun to write. I enjoyed looking into your writer's mind.
Well done.

Review of So Far Gone

Rated: E | (4.5)
Hi ~WhoMe???~ This is a review for House Hightower image for G.o.T. for "King's Landing updating "  challenge.

"So Far Gone" 

This is a classic story for the masses and I do feel that I am part of this mass. The yo yo of life or the ladder with steps that reach to the top of the tower and how many have reached the top? I would image that most like you have gone to the first or second flight and then came down the stairs again only to sit on the bottom step and feel like a failure. Doctors try to find fault with our bodies and prescribe their remedy of pills, poisonous pills that only cover the problem and don't ever cure. What a waste of time. Then the depression of being a failure in life's cycle. Lack of willpower, that is out excuse, but it is no excuse.
Your story tell of the attempts you make to get to your goal and let's face the reality, we all know the solution. But! oh, that word. But! I have had setbacks, I got stressed, I couldn't cope with life issues. We have all played that game of tennis and the ball comes back in our court, plain as day. Will power is the name of the ball, we pick it up and turn it over, we try to through it in the air. But! it falls back into our hands.
We were born with a free will and what we do with it is up to us and the only way to win a tennis match is to get up and exercise and more. To get up off our but and I say this to myself also and get moving. Eat less and healthy. No room for excuses. Mine is an underactive thyroid. That is my blaming ball.
I hope that the next update in this remarkable so true to life story will be game, set and match. *Smile* Go get you trophy WM. *trophyy*
Well done and another good write.*Smile*
